Taylormade R9 460 Driver
Taylor Made continues to be the industry leader in golf club development. They have led the charge in being the first manufacturer to develop adjustable drivers. Their R9 430 released in March of 2009 is a revolutionary golf club with eight different clubface settings and removable weights. This club gave you the ability to alter your flight direction by as much a whopping 75 yards. That’s right, eight different settings, removable weights and the ability to adjust the direction of the ball. Taylormade fairway woods, Taylormade graphite and drivers have become the industry leader in new designs and ideas.
What Taylormade has done now is come out with another new driver, the R9 460. This golf club is a beefier model with more forgiveness and comes with easier to manage adjustments. This driver will quickly become the driver of choice among weekend golfers. The R9 still has eight adjustable clubface settings, however there are no weights to remove and put back on. A simpler golf club design for all golfers to manage and hit, there are no weights to remove and lose. The adjustments allow you to alter the direction of the flight by as much as 40 yards and the R9 460 launches your shots 1 degree higher with less rpm speed than the R7.
Tests have proven that miss-hits of up to 1 inch off center only lose 2 mph of ball speed. A sweeter “sweet” spot equates to a low difference of only 4 yards in loss of distance. Not bad for a miss hit.
In an effort ton increase speed and launch, Taylomade has made the shaft longer and lighter giving the golfer more flex at the tip.
Taylormade R9 460 is yet another revolutionary effort to target a market that may prefer a simpler, easier adjustable club to use and find their way into the fairway more often. Taylormade fairway woods and the R9 driver has become one of the favorite clubs amongst the weekend golfer. Give Taylormade graphite a test “drive” today.
